There are over 600 lines in this plugin to accomplish one very simple thing: fix the originating IP address. Even then it didn’t always work. Uninstall this bloated plugin. Add this line to wp-config.php instead:

if(array_key_exists('HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP', $_SERVER)){ $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']; }

This seems to have been patched as part of the 4.2.1 security release.

WordPress 4.2.1 Security Release

I’ve tried using the default “update profile” functionality on other users for which I’ve never done update_usermeta and it is working as intended.

It seems that once I use the update_usermeta to change the display name once that setting is forever broken in the user’s profile. Even if I use update_usermeta to change the display name back to the default value it still won’t let me make any more changes using the profile.

Once I use update_usermeta on a user’s display name the only way I can change it is with the code again… it seems that the profile gets “stuck”

found it… update_usermeta duh….

I too am curious about this…. either removing bits and pieces or the entire quick edit.
